This started with a tweet in late 2018. But since then, the concept took off and flooded the internet with a series of memes.

3. Shen Yun

Shen Yun is a Chinese television show that was running so many ads that they were practically everywhere on the internet. It is a sort of talent show for dancers that showed thousands of years of Chinese cultural history and its ads usually featured a woman dancing with a big smile. The ads were so annoying that people took it upon themselves to do something about it. Thus began the sled of Shen Yun memes that took over the internet. The memes were based on the concept that no matter what conversation is going, somehow a Shen Yun ad will pop up out of context. Here is one such meme that we found hilarious.

5. You’re Weak Sasuke...

This is a meme that only Naruto fans will understand. For those of you still unfamiliar with Naruto, let me explain it a bit.Naruto was an extremely popular Japanese manga TV series that had a cult following of people obsessed with it. Sasuke Uchiha was a key character in the series who was intent on killing his older brother, Itachi, for slaughtering their entire clan.The memes are based on a scene from the series where Itachi is choking Sasuke and says to him, “You are weak Sasuke because you don't have enough hate.” Well, as illogical as that may sound, people came up with more illogical reasons for why Sasuke is weak.This is what started this popular meme series. Now, as for the reason why people decided to start this meme so many years after this show has ended… No one really knows. People are not always rational now, are they?But don’t worry about that and check out this hilarious twisted version of the meme featuring chef, Gordon Ramsay.

6. Off-Ramp

These memes take their inspiration from a 2013 video of a car skidding off-ramp. The meme template was born when someone added a sign to a screenshot from that video.This template is quite open-ended and provides numerous meme-making possibilities. Though the first meme came out in late 2017, these off-ramp memes are still quite popular.The different variations of this meme show two options where the off-ramp option (usually unwise or irrational) is shown as the obvious choice. You can replace the text on the sign with almost anything, as long as the obvious, off-ramp choice is funny. Following is an interesting take on this classic meme.

The feature allowed people to take a selfie and find out which historical character from an artwork they resemble the most.Now we don’t know how that face recognition system works, but the results of that experiment were hilarious. People got weird and meme-worthy results from this selfie feature and started posting it on social media. The results were so funny that it didn’t even require much effort to start a meme trend that lasted more than a year.Check out what result this woman got in the meme below.
